Calling Port City a $15 Billion Sham

பிப்ரவரி 19, 2023 Lehan Edirisinghe

The center of the day is a long case against Port City as an unworkable taxpayer-funded sham built by the same people who wrecked the economy, with side notes about Singaporean coins, airline partnerships, and Jimmy Carter's anti-corruption legacy.

Arguing That Colombo Port City Is a $15 Billion Disaster

Sunday, February 19th.

11:00 a.m.

I think $15 billion plus expensive running costs CHEC Port City Colombo is a very bad idea which won't work. ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

1. █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

2. █████████████████████████ ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ Why didn't Ajith Nivard Cabraal ask people to buy his book? Then fail to pay. ███████████████████████████████████

3. ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

4. "Who is Lasantha? He was a tabloid. ██████████████████████████ Why ask about him only? ███████████████████████████████ ███████████████████████████████████████████████ Bharatha who? Duminda Silva can't remember. ██████████████████████████████████████ He was a friend of Namal and Yoshitha. But Yasara never knew him to forget him. Tragic accident. Drink driving. Speeding."

5. "We will ban all chemical fertilizers. This is going to help us. Viyath Maga signed off on this."

It's a waste of $15b dollars. ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ This is totally taxpayer funded.

████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ They still never succeed internationally, as they're simply not competitive globally.

They claim it will be constructed many years from now. But after it's done, for 40 years, they won't earn any taxes. Worse, then, it won't pay back. China wouldn't have ever done this themselves, it's not feasible.

If you can't charge corporation taxes, income taxes, property taxes, whatever, then only sales tax or VAT is charged. This isn't going to cover $15b. Worse. You pay for water, sewage, rubbish, electricity, which is a cost to us.

███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ This is why our people are now struggling to survive.

Eight-Sided Coins and a Sri Lanka Airlines Partnership With Singapore

4:00 p.m.

Yeah, we can have 8 sided coins in Sri Lanka for LK $1.00.

Just like Singapore!

I f***ing love Singapore!

I consider myself a Singaporean

And they consider me a Singaporean

Which is an important distinction

Even if I'm a NS draft dodger

I guess, we can sign an agreement with Singapore International Airlines for Sri Lanka Airlines, to partner up.

Parliament Ultimatums and a Ban on High Heels Near Me

5:45 p.m. (b)

Because "we must live every day like it's our last" or some horse s*** like that

Tell him, not to fail or else, he can't get in

My parliament

And also tell Udesh the same thing as 2nd Speaker.

I think

That's a good enough excuse

Hehe

And tell Sandberg that never wearing high heels near me is a real must.

Don't ever even dream of wearing high heels near me , or else, you can go be PM of Pakistan with Malala or something

Fears of Political Violence and Suspicions About Past Leaders’ Deaths

7:30 p.m.

I think that still, █████████████████████████████████████████████

████████████████████████████████████████████████

I think Upali Wijewardena and Vijaya Kumaratunga would have made great leaders of Sri Lanka.

North Korea under China, have supported JVP who may have killed Vijaya. Although apparently "Gamini Lokuge who works for Ranasinghe Premadasa has supplied a hitman called Tarzan with a Chinese Type 56 assault rifle to shoot him down". I think it's likely Ranasinghe may have wanted to kill Lalith Athulatmudalli, and may have plotted to kill Upali, as he was a unsophisticated, poor person from the rural villages, and he was severely jealous and psychotic, totally deranged. But that this plane likely had a mishap, because these Cessna aircraft usually do fail. I'm surprised it was a short flight from Malaysia. Usually it is 3 hours. Most likely it was a malfunction. Many of these types of planes in 70s and 80s do malfunction and crash.

Okay, so I guess, just say, that █████ is trying to hack or cause damage or spy on us.

There could be a murder attempt planned and made by hitmen as they have no political credibility at all, and can't win any election.
